Devin Nunes has written a letter to Adam Schiff accusing him of continuous lying and telling him he is in dire need of rehabilitation.
When Nunes was the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, he put out a four page memo addressing the corruption in the FBI and their abuse of the FISA court system.
Schiff authored a reply defending the fBI and excoriating Nunes over his memo.
Last week DOJ IJ Michael Horowitz’s report came out and it largely verified everything in Nunes memo and destroyed Schiff’s memo.
There is plenty of proof that Schiff is a liar. remember when he said that he had no contact with the whistleblower and even after it was revealed that he had lied, he then claimed that he didn’t know the whistleblowers name.
Both turned out to be lies.He also intentionally misread the transcript of the Trump call to the Ukraine in an attempt to make trump look like he was guilty of something.
Before that, Schiff spent almost two years declaring that the proof that Trump colluded with Russia was indisputable and he had seen it with his own two beady little eyes. Another lie.
And Nunes concludes:
This makes it clear your rehabilitation will be a long, arduous process. As previously noted, this committee is responsible for overseeing the Intelligence Community and exposing abuses. Yet when the IG identified gross abuses in our jurisdiction, you expressed full faith in the agencies we’re supposed to be vigilantly monitoring, and you rejected any oversight whatsoever of their supposed clean-up efforts. If agencies with a documented, severe abuse problem should be trusted to police themselves, then it’s fair to ask why this committee even exists and what we’re supposed to be doing, if anything, aside from being exploited by you as a launching pad to impeach the president for issues that have no intelligence component at all.
As part of your rehabilitation, it’s crucial that you admit you have a problem—you are hijacking the Intelligence Committee for political purposes while excusing and covering up intelligence agency abuses. The next step will be to convene a hearing with IG Horowitz, as the Senate Judiciary Committee has done and the Senate Homeland Security Committee will do next week.
I understand taking action on this issue will be difficult for you, as it will be an implicit acknowledgment that you were wrong to deny these abuses and that you were complicit in the violation of an American’s civil liberties. I also understand such an acknowledgement is made even more difficult by the fact that you’ve already been discredited by your years-long false claim that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to hack the 2016 presidential election.
Nevertheless, I refuse to believe you are beyond redemption. I invite you to work closely with me on your rehabilitation program, and look forward to your scheduling a committee hearing with IG Horowitz at the nearest opportunity.
